The Experience

It is rare indeed to visit an empty house in midwinter and experience an instant warmth that brings the place to life. Your French/German hosts – Valérie and Frank – come from the world of performing arts (she a dance choreographer, he a set designer) and have now turned their attention to viticulture and making your stay special; they have the gift of hospitality tenfold, leave you cherries and walnuts (in season!) and love to share their passion for producing organic wine. Your space? A beautifully renovated, 400-year-old ochre-washed ‘pigeonnier’ with a sun-drenched terrace on an idyllic old farm among vines, a five-minute walk from the village. Step through a glazed door to a stylish yet cosy vaulted and beamed living room with a cool stone floor, minimal high-quality furniture and old walls. The kitchen is simple, the bedroom is fresh and light, and there are single beds on the mezzanine. There’s a pool to dunk in (yours from 10am to 6pm), Saint Émilion is close, the beaches of Arcachon and the boulevards of Bordeaux are an easy drive, and in summer Castillon gives a re-enactment of the last battle of the Hundred Years War.

Reviews

ABM, London

Le Pigeonnier is in a wonderful peaceful location close to the river and surrounded by grape vines, yet within an hour of Bordeaux and the sights of the Dordogne. The interior is simple, with a well-equipped kitchen, and the private garden and (shared) pool are just dreamy. Valérie was a very kind host, available to answer any questions and to recommend some of the many wonderful places to eat and drink nearby (including an excellent riverside pizzeria just 5 minutes’ drive away). The perfect location for countryside, coast and culture.

My family and I stayed a week with Valerie and Frank in their lovely gite, Le Pigeonnier. The setting was idyllic and the house was lovely! On top Valerie is absolutely lovely and very helpful (we didn’t see much of Frank as I think he was busy working)! Their wine is also a very nice glass and organic to boot!! We also very much enjoyed the pool and the tranquility. I have to admit that we loved the region too and we did plenty of cycling! If you get the chance go and visit the Chateau Le Castellet in saint Emilion as the wine is to die for! Ask for Patrick as he is great!!


Frances, Derby

Le Pigeonnier is a lovely, peaceful and relaxing to stay - we had a most enjoyable week! Very clean, high quality and tastefully decorated. Each day we ate all our meals outside on the terrace with views of the vineyards (often joined by a very friendly hen sitting quietly beside the table)! Lovely warm swimming pool to enjoy with views of the sunset. Valerie was very friendly, helpful and welcoming - and we enjoyed their delicious organic wine too! We returned refreshed and totally relaxed. Thoroughly recommend!!


Sue, Leeds

We really enjoyed our stay at le Pigeonnier. How lovely to be among the vines and sample the delicious wine. The property is very private with a fabulous terrace for outside living. The pool is excellent and very relaxing. The owners are so friendly and hospitable and it was a delight to stay in their property. We would recommend.
